FYI, Toyota did reinforce and extend the frame at the Nagoya factory. There were 15 of these made (we have one) and GVWR is up 980kg from OEM stock SR5 long bed as per the plate/manual docs. They are amazing rigs at it was a treat to visit the Toyota plant where they did the conversions on these...

Tons of Hiace’s in the PNW.

good job sir !

very good nice !

I wouldn't trust something like that. There is nothing better than direct pyrometer probe feeding to a gauge in front of your face. You adjust your right foot depending on the reading for temps.

Not bad considering you're pushing a brick. I usually get the cooling system running perfect and then up the boost/monitoring via pyro gauge and do EGR delete. Then it's happy.

you can always go 31's too. I've been making lift since 08. Works pretty good after the EGR delete.

It's incredibly slow. I had one about 9 years ago. Since it struggled to get to 55-60 max, I would put it slower than my old westy. Looks like it's in great shape though.

Specs sheet also have full manual/binder although it's in Japanese and this is how it came from Japan in it's stock form. Size comparison to a new suv.

Selling our amazing delica camper as we have just moved to an apartment that won't allow this height vehicle to be parked on our street (residential Vancouver is set at 2.2m height which won't work) so unfortunately we need to downsize our camper for now to a lower height van. I imported it...

Have been enjoying our Mitsubishi Delica camper this winter. Installed a 6P12 Platcat heater and it's kept us cozy on chilly nights/days. It's a 92 diesel 4x4 we imported from Japan.

I don't remember the weight but it didn't sag when we installed it. Also my leaf packs were in great shape. Wasn't cost effective to make and sell them unfortunately. Just like most things custom it took up too much of my off-work time and family/adventures took priority.

Cute is the word most people use when seeing it for the first time. It's like a mini 4x4 old VW with a new FG body on it. This is what it looks like compared to a new BMW SUV.
